Keep doing it!

As a follow up to my sea salt and olive oil blog. It is important to note that we do not stop nourishing our skin. Never! Ever, Ever! I say this because too many times we begin something and then after a couple of days or so the thrill, the feeling, the excitement is gone. This simply can not be when we are talking about our enclosure. Our skin is the largest organ on the body. Our skin protects us from the outside elements and acts as a filter for what you have going on inside of your body also. Our covering releases everything we consume. For example, have you ever went to your mom and said "man.....Mom look at my face, i think i'm breaking out!" Usually Moms response is "oh yeah, you are breaking out. What did you eat?" It's just that simple. A lot of times the good, the bad, and the ugly shows up and through your skin. So of course having great skin is all about what your putting in your body and what your putting on topically. But I am finding that both of these great to do's begin with regimen. The sea salt and olive oils role is to promote affordable maintenance for the average person and most fabulous! These two star ingredients are doable if with commit to doing them. I have had a couple of testimonies already from my last post and I am very exited to keep sharing "skin That glows".

Skin that Glows

This one is for the ladies!
We all know that sea salt tastes good, but did you know that it feels good as an exfoliant as well? First things first, let's start with Sea Salt and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Using Fine sea salt not only brushes dead skin away but it diminishes the appearance of dry, cracked, and clogged pores. Which is why most body scrubs have some type of salt in them for detoxifying purposes. This helps to rid the skin of unwanted grime. Here is why Sea Salt is such a favorite among women around the world. It is an affordable way to create "Skin that Glows" in a realistic time frame. We're talking in a week you start to see improvements in the way your skin feels and looks chicas! 
To begin using sea salt is easier than you think. Your regimen begins while in the shower. Gently caressing your skin in hopes of unveiling a smoother more healthy you, makes your cleansing time a brilliant experience. 
First step after you cleanse your body, start with a tablespoon of salt in the palm of your hands. Using a circular motion, apply the salt moving up one foot at a time towards the ankle, up to the lower part of the leg, and continue upward until you are finished giving your whole body a much need spa treatment from foot to shoulders. Remembering to apply more salt as you go along is key. Please note that when using sea salt you need to avoid parts of you that are most treasured be smart about your genital area Ladies. 

Secondly, because Sea Salt can have drying effects if not addressed with moisturizer immediately after use we have to combat this with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. After drying off from your bath the next thing you should reach for is EVOO. EVOO should be applied the same as the sea salt except only use a few drops at a time because a little goes a long way. The goal is to go to bed moisturized, not greasy. Not only does EVOO leave you feeling soft and golden. It is packed with super antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as A, B1, B2, C, D, E and K to name a few. Try these simple at home spa treatments to experience "Your Skin that Glows!"

Normally what happens

While mingling in Manhattan, or running down the aisles of Walmart. It is amazing to me the conversations that I encounter. Most times it begins with someone asking my opinion on what product they should purchase for their skin. And when I introduce myself as a Skincare Expert the conversation completely transforms into a consultation session with shelves of product as my treatment room. For the common stranger the opportunity to pick a "Estes brain" is very rare and I love every bit of it!
I begin by asking, "well what would you like to see improve with your skin?" Followed by, "what kinds of things are you experiencing that is making you concerned?" Usually the response has to do with hyperpigmentation, patchy looking skin, and acne treatments. But more so than often I am questioned about what they should give to their Husbands and their Sons to use. Of course this is when my light bulb goes off and I am elated to educate about the importance of Skincare for our Men!
